Motorcycles and DWI

The unrestrained feeling of traveling down the road on a motorcycle is unlike that of operating a standard passenger vehicle. Combining alcohol use with motorcycle riding is an unsafe decision, and one that can result in serious injury or death to the rider, passengers, and others on the road. Because of these dangers, law enforcement officers have taken a tough stance against operating a motorcycle under the influence of alcohol.

Individuals who are caught driving a motorcycle while under the influence may face DWI charges and may have their driver ‘s license suspended, face stiff fines and penalties, and may be forced to spend time in jail. If you have been accused of DWI while operating a motorcycle, contact Dallas DWI lawyer Mark T. Lassiter at (214) 845-7007.
